Calling Https Url

I have written web service and hosted project on server with SSL certificate.If I want to call HTTPS url, I need to import certificate in JVM manually or through program on client side.

I can't ask any client to do extra work on his side before calling my https url, I would loose my credibility.

If any one knows how to deal with this, please help me on this.

Ideally, you should pay for a real SSL certificate (trusted by one of the common root certificate authorities), rather than getting a self-signed one. Then there won't be any need to important any certificates.

The point about losing credibility with your client is an important one, because that's precisely why you need to buy an SSL certificate - it establishes that an element (however weak) of authenticity... you might still be serving up malware or whatever, but there's still a paper trail back from the site serving the content to whoever paid for the SSL certificate.
